This ministry is available in our church to bring communion to the sick or homebound of our parish. If somebody is in need of this service, they should call the Parish Office and let them know so that the homebound minister can be assigned to bring them communion. "In bringing communion to them the minister of communion represents Christ and manifests faith and charity on behalf of the whole community toward those who cannot be present at the Eucharist. For the sick the reception of communion is not only a privilege but also a sign of support and concern shown by the Christian community for its members who are ill."~ From the introduction of Communion in Ordinary Circumstances
